SUMMARY
The school at the Church of St. Tryphon of Nicaea was founded in 1255 by Emperor Theodore II Laskaris on the occasion of the church’s inauguration ceremony. It was the only school in the Empire of Nicaea exclusively maintained by state subsidies. It had two departments (grammar and rhetoric) and approximately six students. Operation was suspended shortly after the death of Theodore II (1258). |
